THOUGHT HE WAS AN OFFICER BUT HE
WAS A FRIEND
Madison County Arkansas Genealogy Trails Tulsa World, April 5, 1916 Fort
Smith, Ark., April 4.--Tom Moore, alleged safe blower, was released by
authorities at Cushing, Okla., Monday to a man who represented himself
to be a deputy sheriff from Madison County, Okla (sic-ARK), but who now
is believed to have been one of Moore's accomplices, it was said today
by J. V. Bourland, United States district attorney. Moore was
arrested charged with having forfeited a $1,000 bond to insure his
appearance in the United States district court at Harrison, Ark., to
answer a charge of stealing postoffice funds when it is alleged Moore
and several companions robbed a bank at Huntsville, Madison County,
Ark. in (illegible) Cushing officials told Mr. Bourland that
they turned Moore over to a man who said he was W. P. Higgins and who
had a commission showing that he was a Madison county sheriff.
Nothing has been seen of Moore or the supposed officer since
and the Madison county sheriff says he does not know Higgins.
